Delighted to be involved in this study, investigating how much, and where, hydrogen needs to be stored at a local level. BGS were able to provide subsurface expertise locating where hydrogen gas may be stored on the East Coast. Our findings show that lots of hydrogen needs to be stored imminently and that market intervention will likely be required in order achieve decarbonisation ambitions.
Hydrogen is poised to play a central role in the UK's journey to net zero. As a clean energy carrier, low-carbon hydrogen offers versatility – providing a pathway to decarbonise sectors that are difficult to electrify and affording flexibility across the energy system. Developed in partnership with The University of Edinburgh and British Geological Survey, our recent research report for the Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) uses new methods to model hydrogen storage demand and capacity in the East Coast Cluster – one of the UK’s key decarbonisation clusters. Large-scale underground hydrogen storage (UHS) will underpin the ability to integrate hydrogen into a decarbonised energy system.

Offshore well and survey information held within BGS’s archive have now been transferred to the North Sea Transition Authority’s National Data Repository to enable greater access. The data could support a range of purposes, from use cases in traditional exploration and production to applications in the energy transition such as carbon storage and offshore wind.

Marine geoscientist Nikki Dakin specialises in characterising the geology of the seabed and near subsurface geology offshore the UK continental shelf. Using multidisciplinary skills such as CPT analysis, geological and seismic interpretation, she works on glacially-influenced landscapes to support offshore renewable developments in the North Sea for research and commercial projects.

For the first time in 25 years, new geological data has been used to create an offshore East Anglia fine-scale (1:10 000) map. The new geological map will help in the hunt for new renewable energy opportunities whilst protecting delicate marine ecosystems. BGS Marine geoscientist Nikki Dakin is lined up to talk more about the map, glaciation and woolly mammoths at 16:10 on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk - make sure to tune in! Learn more about the map on our website: https://lnkd.in/euRip7fE

BGS staff have recently returned from a field visit to see the active and fossilised geothermal systems of southern Tuscany, Italy, spending time observing the evidence of both active and geothermal systems. The The Royal Society Society-funded Lithium Energy Geothermal (LEG) project investigated the resource potential of lithium in geothermal fluids, to increase the economic viability of renewable energy from geothermal power generation. The focal point of the project was knowledge exchange which aimed to foster new collaborations for future research. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eEpVGuad
